According to excerpts from the book, Wolff claims Melania has no interest in living day to day near her husband.
“She f***ing hates him”, a “Mar-a-Lago patio confidant,” told Wolff.
Melania has previously stated that she will not be living at the White House full-time during her second term as First Lady. Instead, she will split her time between Washington, New York – where she will spend time with her son, Barron – and Palm Beach, Florida where the Trumps lived at their Mar-a-Lago estate after their first White House exit.
In All or Nothing, Wolff wrote more about Donald and Melania’s marriage. In one extract of the book, Wolff described how Melania reportedly laughed at her husband’s presidential campaign’s effort “to get her to accompany her husband,” on the trail. She wasn’t seen on the campaign trail one single time, except for in the last months.
“Since the first indictment in New York, when Melania had simply laughed at the campaign’s effort to get her to accompany her husband (‘Nice try’), it had been clear that she wasn’t going to show up. During the past year, she had yet to make a single campaign appearance. In only one instance in 2023 did she even appear on the plane—and then only hitching a ride. Magically, the Melania issue had not, in the White House years nor the Mar-a-Lago years—with both staffers and press quite aware of the Trumps’ nontraditional living arrangements and their careful distance from each other— become an issue,” Wollf wrote.
Michael Wolff claims Melania Trump and Donald “spend very little time together”
“Melania continued to be an additional freak-out, absolutely refusing every entreaty to speak or even to appear side by side with her husband. He had never faced point-blank questions from the media about their relationship. But what if ‘Where’s Melania?’ started now in earnest?” he continued.
“But that was all before the shooting…now the attempt on Trump’s life not only made him again incontrovertibly the central figure of the moment, if not the age, giving him a maximum hero’s electoral mantle, but it also repositioned his convention as the joyous and abject coronation of which he dreamed.”
So how much distance does Melania allegedly want to keep from her husband? According to Micahel Wolff, Trump’s campaign staff “didn’t even know where Melania lived.”
When appearing on the Daily Beast’s podcast, Wolff explained: “She doesn’t live with him. They spend very little time together. Whenever she was at the White House or at Mar-a-Lago it’s like she’s a guest. She basically lives in Trump Tower now.”
Wolff concluded by saying that at the Republican National Convention, Melania “would not sit next to him … Her one appearance on the last day was contingent on him not being in the VIP box”.
